I never upgrade

Chapter 64 Lack of Martial Morality

The next second, there was a loud "bang!"

Xu Lun's fists slammed into the cone-shaped shield composed of four wings, instantly unleashing dazzling lightning and generating a shockwave like a magnetic explosion that rapidly radiated outwards!

The powerful impact sent Xu Lun flying, while Steward Zhou and his grandson were also thrown backward by the violent impact.

Higher in the sky, Zhou Bo and the others hurriedly flew backward to avoid being hit by the aftershocks of the explosion.

"Depend on!"

Xu Lun cursed inwardly.

Of all the people involved in that collision, he was the most unlucky.

That last attack used up all the power I had gained from the bracelet in an instant, and as a result, not only did I fail to harm my opponent, but I also used up all my power.

At this moment, Xu Lun was no longer protected by the Thunder Armor. He flew backwards for more than ten meters in the air before quickly falling to the ground.

In the moment of crisis, he quickly activated the skill book and mastered [Gale Palm Wind]—

Xu Lun was just a few meters from the ground, about to crash heavily to the ground—

He roared and slammed his palm downwards!

A gust of wind suddenly erupted from his palm, and with the cushioning of this force, his body stopped falling. Instead, supported by the rising airflow, he slowly floated down and finally returned to the ground safely.

"That was close..."

Xu Lun breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face darkened. He looked up at the sky and cursed angrily:

"You old bastard, you have no sportsmanship!"

At this moment, Steward Zhou, who had been knocked back more than ten meters in mid-air, finally regained his footing. He then unfolded his four wings again, revealing a solemn expression.

"grandfather..."

Behind him, Zhou Ziheng was eager to explain something. Although he understood that his grandfather did this to save him, he had only just exchanged one move with the enemy and was forcibly interrupted. Where would that leave his pride?

"Pay close attention to the enemy's weaknesses..."

Suddenly, Steward Zhou said this, and after he finished speaking, he rose into the sky and retreated, seemingly handing the battle back to Zhou Ziheng and no longer interfering.

"Damn! Hit and run, you're something else..."

Xu Lun witnessed this scene and was furious. He never expected that this old man could be so shameless. He had just personally stepped in to take sides, and now he was pretending to be a spectator and hiding in the back.

"What's your relationship with this old man? Why is he standing up for you right away? Kid, looks like your two and a half years of training isn't all that great after all..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ziheng's face immediately darkened with anger. He wanted to argue with this barbarian, but remembering his grandfather's advice, he hesitated.

"Grandpa told me to observe carefully..."

He turned his gaze to Xu Lun on the ground.

Meanwhile, the people behind were also observing, and Zhang Yuan was the first to notice something amiss.

The way Xu Lun landed just now was the same as the way he did in the dungeon of Zulu Village last night. He used his Gang Palm Wind to create a vortex of air downwards, which supported his body as he slowly descended.

Why doesn't he use the [Winged Bird]...?

This is what puzzled Zhang Yuan the most. Logically speaking, how could someone who cultivates the Wind God Path not learn the [Flying Bird Wings] technique? It is almost the most important technique in the Wind God Path.

After learning the [Flying Bird Wings], one can then cultivate the [Soaring Cloud Wings], also known as the four-winged form, and the ultimate six-winged form, the [Wind God Wings]... This technique can be cultivated almost from scratch to the top, and it also has a specially designed martial art, the [Nine Transformations of Feather Sword]. Therefore, any cultivator who practices the Wind God Path must learn and master it.

"But this guy hasn't used the [Wings of the Flying Bird] at all. Is it because he doesn't want to use it?... Or does he simply not know how to use it!"

Zhang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted; he felt as if he had discovered the problem—

This thing doesn't know how to do the "Flying Bird Wing" move at all!

Although the 【Flying Bird Wing】 is a required cultivation technique for the Wind God Path, its only drawback is that one's own realm level must reach the 【Wind Bird Realm】 and the wind acupoints on the back must be opened before this technique can be learned.

The most basic [Wind Sleep Realm] cannot learn [Flying Bird Wings]. One can only first plant wind acupoints in the palm of the hand, inscribe the character "wind" pattern, and learn the basic skill [Gang Palm Wind]. If one has exceptional talent, one can even learn the more advanced [Wind Character Technique].

This explains why Xu Lun could use the [罡掌风] and [风字诀], but hesitated to use the [飞鸟翼] – because his cultivation level was only [风眠境]!

Zhang Yuan's heart raced, and he suddenly felt as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret!

He immediately turned his gaze to Zhou Bo in front of him, wondering if his senior brother knew the other's weakness. If not, should he remind him?

However, upon further reflection, it was Zhou Ziheng who was currently fighting Xu Lun, not Zhou Bo. His discovery was unlikely to reach the ears of his senior brother Ziheng directly; it would be pointless to say so.

Besides, their skill level is far superior to mine. They might have already seen through my weaknesses. How could I possibly be the one to give advice? What am I thinking?

Ugh...

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly. On one hand, he felt somewhat discouraged, and on the other hand, he lamented that he had gotten a little carried away. Everyone present was an elite; compared to them, he was nothing, yet he had dared to offer advice—it was truly laughable...

In fact, Zhang Yuan's thoughts weren't entirely hysterical. Zhou Ziheng, standing at the forefront, had actually noticed Xu Lun's problem:

He didn't use [Flying Bird Wing]?

"If this person's cultivation level in the Wind God Path is truly low... then I should try to suppress him with my cultivation level..."

Zhou Ziheng was making plans in his mind, intending to use the techniques of the Wind God Path to attack from now on.

Meanwhile.

Xu Lun, standing on the ground, secretly glanced around:

Judging from the surrounding landmarks, I should be closer to the forest behind me than before.

In the previous exchange, he was blasted away by the energy from the impact, which ironically shortened the distance between him and the forest.

Adding to the fact that Old Deng, surnamed Zhou, had personally intervened to take sides, Xu Lun now had no intention of wasting any more time with this group of unsportsmanlike individuals.

Then, in the next second, he suddenly shouted:

"I'm not fighting anymore! Damn it, you bunch of unsportsmanlike bastards, fighting you is a joke!"

After saying that, Xu Lun adopted a stance of refusing to fight, turned around, and walked away!

This sudden turn of events completely baffled everyone. Seeing Xu Lun swagger away, Zhou Ziheng grew anxious:

"stop!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew directly towards Xu Lun!
